What's your favourite non-violent game?
- Thread starter 8bit

I find how I set up Civ 6 games, Standard Map Size Minus 1 Civ, and how I play, very very peaceful and friendly, almost all my games end up with me not engaging with warfare, sans barbarians of course, and just watching the AI have countless wars amongst themselves. Culture Victory is also my preferred vic type to go for and no War is needed for that. Whenever my neighbour declares on me I am always bummed lol This approach can work up to Emperor Difficulty but gets a bit more tricky as you go up but not impossible. Depends on who you spawn next to of course and the land etc but in general - the games I finish are the ones I have had no fights and just settled and explored and built wonders and theatre squares and just cruised to victory being friends and allied with everyone, minus the 1 leftover who will invariably hate you.
Otherwise, Journey is a good shout.

GTA V /s
Life is Strange 1, BtS, and 2. The Crew 1 is also one of my favorite non-violent games -- it's awesome to just drive around the map and listen to the great soundtrack.

I love the Katamari games, esp Forever. It's got the greatest soundtrack.
I think you can contact EA support to get a physical copy registered on Origin?
Let me give a shout out to Steep, Ubisoft's winter sports game from 2016. You can definitely fall and get hurt, but there's no interpersonal violence.
we love katamari
tetris
well, there is a dead person for every case...

Can't believe so many people mention Edith Finch without mentioning the developer's previous game, The Unfinished Swan. It's essentially a non-violent first person shooter.
Puzzle games, exploration games, and rhythm games shine here.
Here's a few I've recently enjoyed:
A Short Hike
Shape of the World
Old Man's Journey
Songbird Symphony (you could argue that you're battling the other birds in the rhythm battles)
Snake Pass (unless you include falling to your death)

You must've enjoyed the 4 hours here for it to be non-violent :p
The Ace Attorney series has a bunch of people who get murdered, but all conflict in the story is resolved non-violently.
Similarly, Ghost Trick is a game all about death, but your only goal is to save peopleexcept the guy in the first chapter who gets crushed by a wrecking ball, he's screwed
Celeste has a story and conflict that doesn't involve any violence.
Fez doesn't really have a story, but also isn't violent.

Seconded. My friend just started for the first time, I am so envious.The Witness is one of my favorite games from recent memory. That first playthrough was magical.
Also, Outer Wilds was very enjoyable.
Baba is You
Fez
The Witness
Tetris 99
Undertale (sort of?)
Astroneer
The Stanley Parable
Dear Esther
We Were Here (co-op)
EDIT:
GOROGOA every one must play Gorogoa.

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. It's a walking sim, so there's no violence at all, it has a very character focused story and an absolutely beautiful soundtrack.
Football Manager and EuroTruck Simulator 2! I'd also say CTR, but that game is technically violent lol
